Ten

Dear Father,

In our class we are now one happy big family like the onion of nations, with the porpose to understand the impassable language it is spesially difficult because the rules are all the time breaking - there is no logick in the spelling.

For one example, all these words have the same letters - bomb, comb, tomb - with the lazy B which sounds not, but they all has the different sounds. I am thinking that the language is like the caracter of the people - it is without the reason and the English only can salve the problem of the spelling and understand their character. It is know well that they love the animals and have the pets in their homes and spend a lot of the money on the tins of the dogs meet, but in the same time they have the bloody sports where the poor fox is chaste by the packet of the dogs and they sit on him until he is dead.

Also they keep the hens in the buttery and they are so crowded over they have not the room to move. This is very cruel and it is strange that they have a society to stop the cruelty to the animals in a country wich love them.

Your loving son,

Iziz
